Anderson SAAC to Raise Funds for Make-A-Wish at Volleyball Game on October 20

ANDERSON, S.C. – Anderson University's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is raising money to help grant wishes for children with critical illnesses this Friday before and during the home volleyball match against Emory & Henry!

Community engagement is a core value of NCAA Division II, and as a proud member of the South Atlantic Conference Anderson University's Student-athlete Advisory Committee is working hard to raise money to help grant these important wishes to children as they have done for several years now!

A wish come true helps children feel stronger, more energetic, more willing, and able to battle their critical illness. Please help us Make-A-Wish come true for the next child and inspire hope for their family!

You can donate at the game on Friday, or if you wish to use a credit card you can donate here:

ABOUT THE NCAA DIVISION II PARTNERSHIP WITH MAKE-A-WISH

The NCAA Division II is a proud national partner of Make-A-Wish America, celebrating 20 years of wish granting since 2003. In partnership with student athletes and schools across the country, we have raised millions of dollars and brought hope and joy to hundreds of wish kids and their families when they needed it most. But our work is not done.

Every day, 70+ children are diagnosed with a critical illness and each child counts on the donations raised by students like you to help their wish come true. When a wish is granted, a child replaces fear with confidence, sadness with joy and anxiety with hope. Most wish kids go on to beat their critical illnesses, and research shows that a wish can help children build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight giving them a better chance of surviving and thriving.
